DESCRIPTION:How a Cornell Chemical Engineer Became a Federal Judge\, and th
 e Lessons Learned Along the Way\n\nIn this talk\, I’ll trace my path from O
 lin Hall to the halls of justice\, and share a few insights I’ve had over t
 he years.  Loosely under that umbrella\, I’ll cover topics like: (i) how th
 e law works (from the perspective of an engineer)\; (ii) careers in law\; (
 iii) unexpected connections among the fields of law\, science\, and enginee
 ring\; (iv) some of the challenges facing our legal system at the intersect
 ion of law and science\; and\, of course\, (v) why an education in chemical
  engineering really does prepare you for anything.\n\nJohn Murphy (ChemE ’9
 9) is a judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District
  of Pennsylvania.  Before being appointed to the court in 2022 by President
  Biden\, Judge Murphy was an intellectual property litigation partner at th
 e law firm of Baker & Hostetler in Philadelphia\, where he focused on paten
 t\, copyright\, trademark\, and trade secret disputes\, as well as advising
  clients on the development and strategic business uses of intellectual pro
 perty.  He represented plaintiffs and defendants in about equal number in d
 istrict courts around the country and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for 
 the Federal Circuit\, as well as the U.S. International Trade Commission\, 
 arbitration panels\, and mediators.  His representations involved commercia
 l packaging\, orthopedic medical devices and materials\, chemical and biolo
 gical therapeutics\, tablet and telephone hardware\, semiconductor manufact
 uring\, and cryptographic software\, among others.  Judge Murphy teaches pa
 tent litigation and strategy as an adjunct professor at both Villanova Law 
 School and Rutgers Law School.  He is co-author of the fifth edition of Pat
 ent Litigation and Strategy (West 2017) along with Federal Circuit Chief Ju
 dge Kimberly A. Moore and Professor Timothy Holbrook.  Judge Murphy also cl
 erked for Chief Judge Moore early in his career.  He graduated from Harvard
  Law School\, where he was editor-in-chief of the Harvard Journal of Law an
 d Technology and an active member of the Harvard Mediation Program.  Before
  that\, he obtained a Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Caltech.  There\, he
  worked in the laboratory of Professor Mark E. Davis on a thesis entitled “
 Methods for Collection and Processing of Gene Expression Data.”  Judge Murp
 hy spent four happy years studying at Cornell University\, graduating with 
 B.S.\, summa cum laude\, in Chemical Engineering in 1999.  He is about to c
 elebrate his twenty-second wedding anniversary with Katharine Aichele Murph
 y\, a fellow Cornell graduate.  They are the proud parents of Sarah\, Elean
 or\, and William Murphy\, and thrilled that Sarah is on her way to Cornell 
 to join the class of 2028.
